Rubies Gothic Vampiress Costume for Girls, Size Medium (8-10) – Velvet Collar Dress

The Rubies Gothic Vampiress Costume for girls is a single-piece red dress with black velour trim, a lace-up front collar, and draped sleeves. Designed for size medium (8-10), it is made from 100% polyester and includes a drawstring at the neckline. This costume works well for Halloween, themed parties, or dress-up play, giving a classic vampire look with a gothic feel.

What’s Included in This Vampire Costume?

The full costume includes:

• Dress: Red velvet-trimmed collared dress with a drawstring
• Collar: High red velour collar with lace-up closure in front
• Sleeves: Draped sleeves for a flowing, dramatic silhouette
• Details: Lace-up bodice detail and black velour trim along the edges

No additional accessories (cape, wig, or makeup) are included, so those can be bought separately to complete the look.

How to Choose the Right Size

This costume is labeled girls size medium, which fits children ages 8–10 approximately. However, the product notes that costumes typically run smaller than regular apparel. To be safe, consider sizing up if your child is at the upper end of that age range or taller. Measure your child’s chest, waist, and dress length against the garment’s dimensions if available, though specific measurements are not provided in the listing.

Key Design Details That Make It Stand Out

The high red velour collar is a standout feature—it’s shaped like a classic vampire collar and laces up at the front for a customized fit. The black velour trim adds contrast and a rich texture, while the draped sleeves give the dress a cape-like effect without a separate cape. The lace-up detail on the bodice adds to the gothic aesthetic. All materials are 100% polyester, which is easy to care for (spot clean recommended, though care instructions aren’t specified).

Where to Wear This Costume

This outfit is designed for Halloween trick-or-treating, costume parties, school events, cosplay conventions, or any time a child wants to dress up in a vampire style. The brand Rubies has been making costumes since 1951, so it’s a trusted choice for quality and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the costume come with accessories like a cape or wig?

No. The package includes only the dress with attached collar. Capes, wigs, fangs, and makeup are sold separately.

Is the collar adjustable?

Yes, the front lace-up closure allows you to tighten or loosen the collar for a better fit around the neck.

How do I clean this costume?

The product does not include specific care instructions, but since it’s 100% polyester, hand washing in cold water and air drying is a safe approach. Avoid bleach and high heat.

Does this costume fit a typical 8-year-old?

Size medium is meant for ages 8–10, but because costumes often run smaller than regular clothes, some 8-year-olds may need a large. Check the actual garment measurements if possible, or consider sizing up for comfort.
